- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
